picnicking site

Blanket-spreading ground area

A picnicking site is a designated area for eating meals outdoors, typically in a park or recreational area.

Such sites usually feature tables, benches, and sometimes grills or shelters: We found a picnicking site near the lake with a view of the mountains.

The term appears most often in official signage and park literature.
